Local leaders are telling us: School districts are facing hard choices because of the legislature’s inaction.
“This is a direct result of the governor and legislators’ decisions to take your tax dollars and divert them away from public schools.” #ialegisthegazette.com/k/5-5-million-…
“Every superintendent that has come up here, you know what experience they’ve had? Teaching. You have none, I’m sorry. Even McDonald’s, the district manager has got to work the fryer; you haven’t even entered the kitchen.”

The majority in the Senate may not be listening, but @SarahforIowa has a message for the thousands of Iowans who raised their voices to fight Gov. Reynolds’ attack on Area Education Agencies: We listened, we heard you, and we represented your interests. #ialegis
This is it: The bill to dismantle Iowa’s Area Education Agencies is up for debate in the Iowa Senate on Tuesday.
NOW is the time: Contact lawmakers, come to the Capitol, and make Senate Republicans listen. Your advocacy can make a difference for children, families, and educators.
Former Iowa Dept of Education director Ted Stilwill told me "none of the proposed changes" to AEAs "provide any strategies providing any evidence of improving outcomes. The proposed changes are about money and power and have little to do with kids." bleedingheartland.com/2024/03/24/iow…
It’s ALREADY happening: By chronically underfunding our schools over the last seven years and delaying funding for next year, Republican lawmakers are forcing districts to make cuts that affect students, teachers, and communities.
This could have been avoided. #ialegis
🚨 The final vote on legislation gutting Iowa’s AEAs and underfunding public schools could get a FINAL VOTE as early as MONDAY. 🚨
Now is the time to tell Senate Republicans to do the right thing and vote NO on HF 2612.

If Republican lawmakers’ goal was to truly improve outcomes for Iowa students, they would have welcomed public input. Instead, they’re putting our kids in jeopardy.

Going to keep posting it until a good outcome happens. The bill sent back from the Senate is not going to help students, teachers, or schools. Once the AEAs are torn down, they will not be able to be brought back in any timely fashion, we will lose some great educators, resources… x.com/i/web/status/1…

New post: The Iowa Senate is debating its AEA overhaul proposal right now.
Last night, more than 30 superintendents warned all #ialegis members that major changes to AEAs "will have grave consequences" for their students. bleedingheartland.com/2024/03/18/iow…
The Republican-controlled Iowa Senate has now failed to determine its budget for Iowa public schools before school districts have to set their budgets tomorrow. It’s past time for the Republican-controlled legislature to do its job and fully fund public schools. #iowaed
A reminder that Iowa school districts are supposed to certify their budgets by March 15. They have to guess at state funding level b/c #ialegis hasn't set state funding for the coming school year (they were supposed to do that within first 30 days of 2024 session).
